Now you have Tizwazaed my noodle, they were supposed to be ultrahive uber good ones? I did have a slight head stagger on decalling up Tange as GT but got over it, and think they look O.K.?? Still Kids will soon scratch the living daylights out of them, then i can get some more!!!!!!!!

Ahh, i see the difference now. I have a Tange headset so they will feel at home, i hate that language barrier between parts dont you?. They are on now and not coming off.

Nice chrome though chap!

Tempted Johndub71, but its supposed to be an engineering lesson to my youths!! We did install a front break this evening on the Torker, 35mins. (3 of us 1h 45 singls man time). I'll be on Antiques road show by the time its done!

Cutie sized pool table, but i would like a GT PP to suit a real sized pool table. A full sized bmx, interesting (0); (smilies dont work sorry)

Post by: FAZE3 on March 11, 2013, 09:57 PM: You can GT performer's in all sorts of colours, but for your classic 80's look, it has to be white ;)

(I've a couple and none of um are though :idiot2:)

What's your colour scheme gonna be then?

Post by: jim350i on March 11, 2013, 10:25 PM: Black and white dude, It came as a survivor, so resto is on

PS. I know my seat guts are wrong
Title: Re: GT Build day 1
Post by: not johndub71 on March 30, 2013, 08:57 PM: You know how you have the stop tangs on the seat guts. I used to rag mine off and pust the guts further onto the layback giving a just laid seatpost. Looks good.
